Youve got to see me in the cold light of day You gotta see me as I am but thats the only way But its often the way when you try to make amends Come up too fast and youre sure to get the bends It never ends Ive been diving, deeper than you think Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink The long wave return makes it harder to be friends Come up too fast and youre sure to get the bends Oh nobody knows, nobody knows Why were chained to our first impression Oh nobody knows, nobody knows How were changed by decompression Look at the crazy people heading for the bay (youre telling me Im crazy) Its a drop in the ocean but were growing by the day The long wave returns and its hard to comprehend (you realy do amaze me) Come up too fast and youll be sure to get the bends Oh nobody knows, nobody knows Why were chained to our first impression Oh nobody knows, nobody knows How were changed by decompression Look at the crazy people All heading for the bay Some keeping it together Some falling by the way Way down below the surface Its easy to pretend Gotta get up off the seabed Its time to make amends People like a river Flowing to the sea Making a stand to deliver A new philosophy No need to be defensive When theres nothing to defend Better make it last, come up too fast And youre sure to get the bends It never ends
